‘Fear is usually good. It stops us being reckless; it gives us caution. But Chareos says that fear is a servant who longs to be the master. And he is a terrible master who must be fought, held in thrall. You are strong. You are iron. You are proud.‘
– Kiall, to Tanaki, Quest for Lost Heroes
‘What do you want me to say? That you are not the perfect man? Ha! As if that beast ever existed.‘
– Eriatha, to Connavar, Sword in the Storm
‘A man with his eyes on the sky does not see the scorpion below his feet. A man with his eyes on the ground does not see the dragon in the air.‘
– Joachim Sathuli, to himself, Legend
‘That is the nature of evil. It breeds. It is born in every hateful thought, every spiteful word, every greedy deed. The crowd hated her, and in hating her they drew just a touch of evil into themselves. In some it will fade away. In others it will find a place to seed.‘
– Keeva’s Uncle, to Keeva Taliana, Hero in the Shadows
